The Girl Who Played With Fire by Stieg Larsson.
A little foray out of YA lit. The second in Larsson's Girl trilogy, this one moved as fast as the first. Although the formula of it began to show through, and the prose could be predictable, it was still one of those books that was impossible to put down. Up until 2:30 two nights in a row, I couldn't resist the introduction to the third and final book appended to the end.
Lisbeth Salander's past is finally revealed and is the heart of the deadly mystery in this installment.
Behemoth by Scott Westerfield.
The second in Westerfield's Leviathan trilogy, Behemoth picks up exactly where Leviathan left off. Alek's position aboard the Leviathan become more dicey when Austria-Hungary joins the war. He and his men decide to escape in Istanbul while the Leviathan is stopped there. The escape goes awry and the Count is unable to join Alek, who is left alone to navigate life for the first time. His choice to stay in the city rather than run and hide lead to a dramatic alliance and battle, which saves the Leviathan. Although Alek reveals the rest of his secrets to Deryn, she maintains her greatest secret from him. Will the Count blow it in #3 or will she finally spill?
